Ohhhhh, those sound like amazing ideas! (Moths and rust.....luv that). I'll give Matthew a good read.....thanks so much. Can't wait to see your new pieces.

Mathew 5 and 6 is full of ideas. I am working on one now called moths and rust. It is just above the passage about the eye...and I did get my fingers tangled up when I said verse 29. I knew it was 22. I am also going to to a piece with "swine and pearls". Google that one.

I looked up that passage Darlene (it is actually Matthew 6:22), it really is a great visual and symbolic passage for art inspiration. I had never heard of the "eye is the lamp" reference before, then I googled it after reading your blog and found quite a few references to it.....thanks for the enlightenment ;) What other great "art subjects" can you recommend from the bible?

Thanks Wendy, the Bible is full of "art subjects". I really find it intriguing to try to visualize what I'm reading. I have drawings in the margin of my bible for future references.

This must be the artwork that was inspired by the passage. I really enjoy the idea of using biblical inspiration in artwork. Especially in more modern/contempary art. A new look for an old message. This is a great assemblage piece Darlene.
